(Im Late) But I Fully Agree That Janus Doesnt Actually Like Remus And Its So Hard To Find People Who

(I’m late) but I fully agree that Janus doesn’t actually like Remus and it’s so hard to find people who think the same lol so wahoooo! But I personally like shipping Remus with the others but god knows how unstable a relationship with Remus would be realistically

Is it just me, or does it feel disrespectful to Remus's character to ship him?

Hear me out!

Every time I come across Remus ship content, it almost always seems to carry the idea that love or romance can fundamentally change a person's nature. It implies that romantic love must inherently change a person into a more socially acceptable version of themselves: He now takes a break from setting his room on fire to calmly help Virgil through his panic attack. He stops filling Roman's pillow with a dead corpse to cuddle with Patton.

I believe this is unrealistic and leads to the softening or taming of the very essence of who he is to fit a romantic narrative.

On the other hand, if you remain true to his character and portray him as just as chaotic as he is in canon, that scenario is borderline torture for anyone involved. You cannot tell me that Logan wouldn't be beyond stressed out if, while trying to do his job, Remus cut his arms off and hit him on the head with them while saying in a sing-song tone, "Why are you hitting yourself?" Or, Virgil, on the brink of a panic attack because, for some reason, every time they kiss, Remus removes the skin from his own face, and that’s the first thing Virgil sees when he opens his eyes.

The only person who could theoretically have a romantic relationship with Remus is Janus, but that’s only because Janus essentially acts as Remus's zookeeper. He keeps the chaotic side contained and, as a result, “tames” him. Even this dynamic is problematic. If Janus is merely managing Remus rather than genuinely enjoying his company, it suggests a relationship built on obligation and control rather than mutual affection and respect.

Furthermore, I don’t believe Janus genuinely enjoys being around Remus. I think the only reason he (narratively) gave him his own special day is because the others were doing it, and he didn’t want to be perceived as a jerk for being the only side that didn’t do it. (Obviously, the reality is that Thomas couldn't do a video about the pairs and not include Janus and Remus.)

There is a balance between creativity and character integrity that I don't think a lot of Remus shippers have taken the time to consider. Respecting his character means acknowledging that not all characters are suited for traditional romantic narratives.

If you ship Remus, don't let me stop you. At the end of the day, it's not that serious. I was just curious if anyone else felt this way.

I never watched code looks but why is everyone foreheads so massive 💀

Remy is the type of bf to make you ASK HIM to be your valentine or prom date fr.

(Poor Andy)

I think orange side has been expected for so long now that no one’s cares about him anymore tbh.

This is what inspired my headcanon for Remus having pica

hey what do you think remus might have some sort of eating disorder if so which one?

This is a weird question, but okay. I personally don't have this as my primary headcanon for him, but I think if he did have an eating disorder that could affect his body, it would be Pica.

According to healthline.com, people with the disorder pica compulsively eat items that have no nutritional value. A person with pica might eat relatively harmless items, such as ice. Or they might eat potentially dangerous items, likes flakes of dried paint or pieces of metal. There's no definitive cause, but it might be the body trying to replenish low nutrition. Naturally it doesn't bode well for the patient, physically, mentally or emotionally.
